Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 11, 1911. Serial No. 665,200.

To all whom it may concern.

,Beit known that I, Lnwrs A. PRmss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and'State of Minnesota, have invented oernew and useful Improvements in Easy- Slide Holders for Neckties, of which the following is a specification. 1 My invention relatesto a device tobe applied to the band of a necktie and inserted the fold of the collar, providing an easy slide holder for neckties. .4

It is the object of my invention to profvide a device as above described which shall cheap, easily'applied to the necktie, and

in'connection with the necktie-be applicable to the inside of the folded collar with greater ease thanwoald be the case with the neck-' I tie alone, and which after being placed in invention will be formed of celluloid, rubp'os'ition will hold the necktie so as to permit the-same to slide easily back and -forth for adjusting the knot in the tie after the same has been formed. e 'In the drawings, illustrating the appli- Cation of-my invention in one form,'Figurel is a plan of my device and Fig. 2 a sectional-view taken .through the device when containing a necktie and placed within a'turned-down collar. v

The body-'10 of the holder comprising my composition, light metal, or other substance havinga smooth and glossy surface 4 which at thes'ame time is light, resilient and .Iofsuflicient tenacity not readily. to collapse.

or 'ueeze together. The body portion 10 has ormed along. the edges thereof. a series of-lobe's 11 which are turned inwardly and spaced from the body ortion, as clearly' shown in Fig. 2. The bo y portion will be provided with a notch for the reception of the collar button, as shownin Fig. 2, the body portion having 'a slightly raised part 14.- in which the small notch 12 is provided to'receive thelcollar button 13. The advane tags of the structure shown in "Fig. 1 1s that the collar button is, by the means therein shown, removed from contact with the tie 16. -The notch 12 engages the shank of the collar button 13 when the holder is placed 'osition'in the collar. The holder is of su cientlength to-ex'tend around the curved portionsv of the collar at either side so that the-ends of the-holder will be directed to- -ward the front of the collar. The lobes 11 Wlll engage the front wall of the collar and hold the same away' from the band of thetie 16 held between the body 10 and the lobes '11." Owing to the fact that the surface of the-holder is smooth and glossy the tie will e capable of slipping readily within said -holder. The engagement of the collar button with notch ,12 12 will prevent the holder from slipping while at the same time, it

will not contact with the tie or. operate in any way to bind or hold it from readily sliding within the holder and collar. The advantages of such a device will be apparent. It can be manufactured very cheaply, so that such a holder may with economy be applied to every tie in a persons wardrobe and thus be at all times available for use irrespective of the tie'which may be selected at any time.

The holder may be inserted in and withdrawn from the collar in conjunction with the tie with the utmost ease. It will be noted that my tie holder not Patented1yIay5,,1914.

only provides means for holding the tie so holder from movement longitudinally in the collar button, but also will hold it from sli ping down, and, ofcourse, the lobes on t e. the band of; the tie will' holder engaging v prevent the tie rom moving away from the holder, so that the tie will be held up in proper position without ping down. I claim A necktie holder comprising a body portion formed of a thin strip of celluloid or the like and provided along the edges thdreof with a plurality of inturned lobes for embracing the tie and holding the same out of contact with the flaps of the collar when said possibility of slipholder and tieare positioned between said flaps, the said body portion having formed on one edge thereof an ofisfettingstrip providedl with a. notch for mcei the shank 31in tes'fiimmv wfmmmii'fl m i j a of the collar button, said;nomh being empr aswce 01 wnwo'wifimmw 'tirely eutside of the line of the insidemn- 'mwwlq A -gym;
